Tip for the month.
When choosing a module for Drupal - it can be useful to browse by Category on DrupalModules.com. Although it takes some time - there is a good chance you'll stumble across some really cool modules that will make your life that much easier.
If you have some interesting news that you'd like to share with the rest of the South African Drupal community - we'd love to hear it - mail newsletter@drupal.co.za, and we'll include it in next month's issue.
All the best for 2012!
